About Us

While I specialize in antique and vintage dollhouse furniture and accessories, my shop also features a wide variety of items including fine porcelain, Sterling silver, ink wells, mid-century tin and kitchenware and many other types of decorative collectibles. I find my items in a variety of places; auctions, estate and tag sales, flea markets and even yard sales and thrift shops on a lucky day.

My rather eclectic tastes do not limit me to certain categories or types of items; if it makes me smile, I buy it. I hope you appreciate my tastes and take some time to browse through my shop.

I fully understand that buying antique and vintage items online can sometimes be intimidating so I like to provide lots of photos and describe my items thoroughly, pointing out any flaws or condition issues they may have. While the origin of most of my items is unknown and beyond my control, I do my best to clean and maybe even do some refurbishing on items that allow this. Any notable modifications will be found in my descriptions. Sometimes I may miss a spot or overlook something and I guarantee that if you are the least bit unhappy with your purchase or its condition I will gladly accept all returns and give a full refund minus the return shipping cost. If you feel the item you are returning has been misrepresented in any way I will reimburse for shipping. I do not give partial refunds.

Some of my items are on consignment and have a fixed price but I am willing to consider reasonable offers on most other items. I also accept layaways on any item over $100. Length of layoff is limited to 4 months and I charge a small monthly fee to cover the expense of keeping the item listed in my shop till payoff is complete. Please contact me for further details.

I am happy to ship overseas and offer First Class International shipping on items weighing under 4 pounds. Other methods are available if you are in a hurry or prefer to have your package tracked. Click on 'Shipping Options' or send an email for rates and delivery times.

I love return customers and offer them the very best prices possible. Typical discounts are 10-15% and sometimes more, depending on price of item, how long it has been listed and my investment. If I don't remember you please forgive me and let me know if you are a return customer and I will adjust the price to reflect your appreciated loyalty.
